Mechaware Interface

The MechaWare software consists of two main windows, the Simulink Library Browser and the Model Window.

Control Algorithms are defined as block diagrams in Simulink. The model can contain any valid Simulink block, but only MechaWare blocks from the MechaWare Library will be recognized and downloaded to the controller.

Simulink Library Browser

Model Window

Simply drag and drop the specific MechaWare blocks from the library above into the Model Window. To add the relationship connections between the blocks, simply click on the '>' arrow of one block and connect it to the arrow of the next block.

Right-click on any block to see the block's configurable parameters. The parameters for the Command Position block are shown below.
